OPSEC - Navy Operations Security
Always keep Navy Operations Security in mind. In the Navy, it's essential to remember that "loose lips sink ships." OPSEC is everyone's responsibility.
DON'T post critical information including future destinations or ports of call; future operations, exercises or missions; deployment or homecoming dates.
DO be smart, use your head, always think OPSEC when using texts, email, phone, and social media, and watch this video: "Importance of Navy OPSEC."

Anna, congratulations on your giving birth and raising your "Lady Twins!"
It was a boy and a girl, fraternal twins. One month premature but Mum and the twins are well, natural childbirth. Women are amazing!
I told my son: "Now you know how much we love you and your brother!" The birth of your children is a magical time.
That work is over, now the work begins!
Our Blue Candle Glows for All Our Sailors, Families, Friends and Babies!

Our Sailor's wife gave birth to fraternal twins in natural childbirth. She and the babies are well and resting. Women are just amazing!
The Navy gave my son time off to be with his wife and we are all so thankful for that. We did Facetime right from their private room. Our lives have changed.
Our Blue Candle is Glowing for All Our Sailors, Family, Friends and newborn Babies!

Thank you so much Storymom and Baker. I agree with you so much Baker, and that is the way my daughter felt - commitment for life. Unfortunately her husband "said" that in his vows but in the end didn't mean it!!! One Day At A Time is right!!!

Oh why do relationships have to be so hard? Anna, our thoughts and prayers are going your way. Love is spelled: "Commitment!" Husbands and Wives "Commit" to each other for "Life!"
We just spent 6 days with our Sailor and his beautiful wife in Virginia Beach. My eyes are watering as I try to type this. WE love our Son's and Daughter's so much it hurts. WE want only good things to happen to them. Live is not fair. That is why we: "Take One Day At A Time!"
Our blue candle is Glowing for all our Sailors, Family, Friends and Babies waiting to be born!
